Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are preparing to return to the United Kingdom. The move comes after the couple settled in California following their 2020 departure from the royal family. While Harry has previously expressed a longing for his home country and a desire to reconnect with his causes, the timing of the return coincides with a shift in the couple's professional ventures.
Reports indicate that Meghan Markle may be returning to acting. She is reportedly in negotiations to appear in the third season of the Netflix series The Gentlemen, directed by Guy Ritchie. While some reports describe these talks as advanced, others suggest they remain hypothetical. This potential role follows news that she will make a brief appearance as herself in a comedy titled Close Personal Friends.
The couple's financial and media landscape has evolved since their initial high profile deals. They signed a partnership with Netflix in 2020 that was reportedly worth between 60 and 100 million US dollars, though reports suggest the value of this contract has since been reduced. They also secured a 20 million dollar deal with Spotify. Despite these ventures, analysts suggest that the current creator economy makes it difficult for celebrities to maintain success based on name recognition alone.
When asked by an AP journalist about the potential move back to Britain, Prince Harry stated that he had nothing to say.
